Some games don't run (runs badly) on Linux.

I have to work on a windows computer so I'm regularly reminded of the horrors that is W11.

I use all three. I have Windows on one of my machines that I use occasionally for gaming. I use Macs for work since that's what all my corporate machines comes with and I daily drive Linux and use it for all my home servers.

Just want to turn my laptop on and not have to wonder if everything will work.

Not have to perpetually debug small issues like “why is there no sound? Oh it’s playing out of a different audio device”

Not have to worry about installing software and where it comes from, and in which format.

I just want shit to work, day in, day out. And I’m fully aware that I’d probably have these issues, plus others, with osx or windows.

Inconsistency of things, can't change things easily, random outdated stuff that would help if it wasn't abandoned several years ago and patched together to barely work. Gaming on Linux isn't good, so so much distros and not a lot of information besides "whatever you like". Hard to find things online because of outdated posts or just "top 10" type sites.

Windows is just plug and play, with a few apps that remove most annoyances. Nearly all games and modding of games are mostly just works.

I'm having weird issues with my Wifi where it will just suddenly stop working (Plasma will show "no available connections") and I have to hard reset the machine because Linux won't shut down otherwise. It's not a hardware issue since it doesn't happen on Windows.

It almost sounds like when I tried a wifi dongle on my mother's desktop. I found out it was deprecated thanks to the manufacturer dropping support for Linux drivers. It worked fine on windows though.

Have you tried troubleshooting the issue?

Compatibility, though it's usually forced, like the Xbox controller with a drm chip that you need a workaround for

Brain damage

[-] gianni@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

There occasional hiccups with Linux that are sometimes by design, like Flatpaks not having access to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. This makes some things need minor workarounds where they wouldn't otherwise, because there aren't enough people on Linux to make these workarounds the norm. I don't really mind, but it is nice not having to do anything like that on macOS (although there are other issues there, like not having access to /usr/bin in the first place :P)

At the end of the day, though, the development workarounds necessary on Windows are absolutely insane. Even as well documented as they are, I am very glad I don't need to touch Windows ever again because they still suck.

Drivers for the Tobii eye tracker do not officially exist.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
